Q & A

What are your favorite pursuits outside of work?

Exploring coffee shops, attending sports events (mainly basketball, my team is the Lakers), EDM concerts.
Discuss a solution you provided for a client that you’re extremely proud of.

Helping a client realize that they don’t need to continue working at his highly stressful job, he and his wife can retire comfortably AND can choose between purchasing a yacht or a home in the Rockies.
If you volunteer for a charity, which one(s) and why?

Various homeless shelters or meal providers for the needy – The Salvation Army, City Team Oakland, YEAH Berkeley. If I were homeless, one of my biggest worries would be having a meal. The look on their faces as they receive their meals is so heartwarming and rewarding.
